Everton skipper Neville: Everyone loves Fellaini

Everton skipper Phil Neville says Marouane Fellaini is a firm favourite with everyone connected to the club.

Fellaini will line up for Belgium against England tomorrow night.

"He has immersed himself in Everton's culture," Neville told the Daily Mail. "A couple of years ago we went on a mid-season break to France and the plan was for us all to travel in tracksuits. But I told Felli he needed to come in his club suit, complete with shirt and tie. When he turned up, he knew straight away he'd been stitched up and everyone burst out laughing but he took it brilliantly.

"The lads love him and we know the fans do, too, because we see them wearing those Afro wigs for him everywhere we go. When we bought him, we got a £15million snip."
